Spare the rod and spoil the child?

How often has this been said? How often has it been put into practice? I am beginning to think that it's become an unwritten law after observing how children act today.

Your personal info just got less personal

Why are sites like spokeo.com allowed to steal your personal info and sell it off? Who gives them the right to do it especially if you are not subscribed to their site? Looks like it's time to play whack-a-mole to keep private information private.

Who wants an iPad??

If I don't have to buy it.. I sure as hell do!

I am no lover of Apple but I can deal with a free iPad. I did try one out in BestBuy but it just reminded me a super-sized iPod touch.

Star Trek Online

I have been a trekker for quite some time and was very excited to hear that there was finally going to be Star Trek MMO. The attempt from Perpetual Entertainment was looking like it would be the end all be all for a sci-fi themed MMO but, from 2004-2008 there was nothing more than a few artists renders and some interior screenshots. As Perpetual decides to close up shop, Cryptic/Atari get the IP rights to Star Trek Online.

Now we come to Cryptic... they did great with the City of Heroes/Villains games but ultimately sold them off to NCSoft. Their next endeavor was Champions online(which was a revamped Marvel Universe Online after Marvel pulled out of the deal) which could have been a great game but it felt too rushed.. lacked polish and content.

Storm 2: the Blackberry Blacksheep


My first smartphone was a Blackberry Curve 8330 from Alltel. It was a learning experience for me coming form a "dumbphone" but it was/is a great phone nonetheless. I got the chance to do an early upgrade and after using and "mastering" my curve as well being a crackberry addict; I decided to go for the Storm2 since it was the new BB kid on the VZW block. I will admit that I did eye and try out the DROID in the store, but I was blinded by the berry.
